Monluc Armagnac Vintage 1997

  • Ageing 1997 vintage, harvest year
  • Terroir Ténarèze

An Armagnac from 1997 is a natural gift: a birth, wedding or anniversary that took place in 1997, or a nod to a generation.

This 70 cl bottle, in the Armagnac-Ténarèze appellation, is bottled at 43% vol. and awaits a fine occasion to be opened.
